Why is Christmas Eve celebrated?
Christmas Eve is mostly celebrated by Christians who like to
attend a candlelight service or
mass to celebrate the birth of Christ (The reason for the season). It is rare
for Churches to have a service on Christmas day as that is considered by most
as a family day to open presents and if they are so inclined to have there own
way of celebrating the occasion.
Christmas Eve is also a huge day for retailers. So many last minute shoppers
make Christmas Eve a very big shopping day. Macy’s started the tradition of
being open until
Eve in 1867. Other retailers soon started following suit. Now many stores are
open until
for those who haven’t been able to get their act together before then.
Christmas Eve is a little late to be buying Christmas cards until maybe you
want to send a New Year’s Card instead.
